Three years ago I dropped a load in Chicago, but last week I finally got the call to run the big tower crane on that same site.

After the Chicago job went wrong, I spent a month in the yard on a small mobile crane, then spent the next three years working my way back up through every kind of rig, and getting that call felt like a real second chance.

That's a solid comeback story. My cousin drives a lowboy and had a similar thing happen after a load shift in Cleveland. Took him almost two years before a company would let him haul oversize again.

Actually think @karent75 might mean a flatbed, not a lowboy. Lowboys are for the really tall stuff. That load shift story sounds rough though.
